The Five Deaths of
Roxanne Love
Erin Quinn
Paranormal Romance
Heat Rating: 4
Roxanne
Love’s
near-death
experiences have put her on the
radar of a Reaper determined to
uncover the secret of her immortality
and cut it at the source. Disguised
as a human, the Reaper isn’t prepared for the emotion that
comes with the body. Now he finds that the woman he came
to kill is the one person he’s willing to die to protect.
REVIEW: There is only one word to describe this first book in
a new series – amazing! Proving that love knows no bounds,
the romance of Santos and Roxanne is beautiful. From the
darkness of evil to the revelation of humanity and the power
of emotion, their journey to happiness is met with seemingly
impossible obstacles. It’s their faith in one another, however,
that keeps them alive, together, and thriving. Dark, passionate
and moving, this story is more than just a book – it’s a well
written emotional adventure that’s well worth taking.

Darkness Rises
Dianne Duvall
Paranormal Romance
Heat Rating: 3
Krysta is used to getting the drop
on vampires. Her “special abilities”
aren’t much, but the plan is simple
— she plays helpless pretty young
thing to lure them in. Then her shoto
swords come out and it’s bye-bye,
bloodsucker. Until one night she
finds herself with an unexpected ally. He’s a vampire, all right,
but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in
saving her skin than draining it.
Étienne has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years
— long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can’t stop
thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords.
Then he discovers the vamps she’s exterminating have friends
in high places, and the Guardians are in danger, too. He’ll have
to accept Krysta’s help to save them. The stakes for a mortal
are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher . . .
REVIEW: This book was absolutely brilliant. I enjoyed it
immensely, and I am absolutely chuffed that I got to review
it. The story line is about vampires, but like all good books
it has a unique twist. However, the twists don’t always work
out in some books, but in this case I have to say that it was
perfection and it worked wonderfully. I’m looking forward to
reading the rest of the series…as soon as I get the chance.
Brilliant!! I love the characters, some more than others but I do
adore them. I’m keen to learn more about the other characters
they do intrigue me. I’m a massive vampire fan ever since
I was 9 and I watched blade so I am hard to please when it
comes to this genre, and this book did not disappoint. I really
do recommend this to vamp lovers around the world. Enough
LOVE!
